no its easy, if my dealer wasn't terrible it would of taken just a day.

taking out a 5 speed isnt a really tough job, so it should take them more then a day

Keep in mind the 3 days they told you could be related to their work load also. May take them an hour to fix it, but 3 days to get to it. First come first serve.

If you guys read the TSB, you see that it states that it should take 2.8 hours. If they say it takes 3 days, go to a different dealer!

Nope, they said for the job cause they allow me to schedule any day and no matter when will be 3 days for work

I went to another dealer and they congrat me for taking the bulletin lol.

They were really different and explain me the whole process that includes taking out the clutch and yes they will deliver the car on the same day.


Thanks

I have an 06 Saleen (manual) and I experience a metalic sounding rattle at startup. To me it sounds like it is coming from the front of the trans or back side of the engine. I hear it when I first start the engine in the morning, it happens when the motor is idling back down to 1200-1000 rpms and the rattle last for about 2-3 seconds. I hear it very slightly when I am driving it until the car warms up, but its really noticable at the initial startup.
I took it to the dealer and they told me it was the input shaft bearing on the trans, so they put all new bearings in the tranny. (It was cover under my warranty).
However, that didnt fix it. Took it back to them and told them when it happens. Left it overnight so they could hear it in the morning, which the tech did, and he thinks its something in the motor and I should leave it alone until it gets worse. This sounds a little stetchy to me. I told them about the seperator plate TSB 08-2-10, but said that was only for a rattle at 2000-2500 rpms and couldnt be it. I tried putting spacers inbetween the seperator plate as some people suggest, but its still there.
Has anyone else had this issue? The updated seperator plate is only $42, should I just swap them out or could it be something else?

That metallic rattle sounds like either a heat shield or exhaust clamp needs to be tightened, probably on the mid-pipes.

To the OP, since you're out of warranty, I'm wondering if the dealer is doing the TSB work free of charge or if you have to pay.

Here is how it sounds inside the car. The rattle starts near the end of the videos and last for a few seconds. Noise sounds like it comes from the front of the tranny.
